Default Brake flutter

Hey, so my brakes seem to flutter when I brake and do a left turn. haven't noticed it on right turns, and it doesn't do it all the time for left. fluid is full, I dont know what else it could be. I've also been reading the pimp my ride and was wondering about taking out the ABS fuses, would that help? thanks all.

Check each of you're wheels while up in the air for any movement at the hub(loose wheel bearings). That could cause the rotor to wobble,feeling it in the brake pedal.

You could pull the abs fuse and see if that helps, it can always be put back if it don't. Is you're abs light on?

x2 what kenk said, if a rotor is warped its warped no matter what direction you turn in, check the hubs.

no ABS light. it seems to only happen with relative high speed braking around sharp corners (like from one street to a cross street at 35 braking to make the corner). I will take a look at the wheels today.

Does your pedal pulsate due to ABS kicking on during that instant? or pulsate like something is wrong with the rotor like warpage?

from not a ton of ABS actuation experience I would still say it feels like the abs is kicking on. I would be able to feel a warped rotor simply slowing down, this is infrequent and definitely pulsation.

Were you able to get the truck up to check the hubs for enough freeplay that might be a contributor to the vibration? Other than that, its a unique problem that I haven't experienced yet.
